[English]

The front door wall is full of cracks and peeling paint.

Even my beliefs are collapsing.

Countless crows watching from above.

I can't bear to see my beloved marked with wounds.

Resist, even if thrown into the blazing fire.

Fighting to block, even if it’s all in vain.

Damaged but still holding onto the beginning.

No matter how much it shatters, holding onto what's most precious.

Falling with the world.

Disappearing in the eye of the storm.

The old days have turned to dust.

Soul burning in pain, silent again.

Clearly reluctant to part, yet forced to leave.

Unwilling to see my dreams shattered by calamity.

Resist, even if thrown into the blazing fire.

Fighting to block, even if it’s all in vain.

Damaged but still holding onto the beginning.

No matter how much it shatters, holding onto what’s most precious.

Falling with the world.

As usual, taking a full shot with you, the one I want to capture a photo with.

Expecting to face a battlefield of bones and death.

But I have unwavering faith, like oxygen I can't breathe without.

As if nothing was lost, nothing is to be regretted.

Impermanence.

Like losing the reward that should have been handed to me.

In the end, it still ends up in my hands.

Perhaps what I have is what I gain or not.

No distinction between having and not having.

Blame the breeze passing by.

A heart that never dims, a lamp without a wick.

Thrown into the blazing fire, fighting to block.

The whole world has fallen into flames.

Fighting to block, yet with no result.

Damaged but still holding onto the beginning.

Hoping to resist more, but never able to hide.

Falling with the world.

Disappearing in the eye of the storm.

Break free from fate, dare to fall first.

[Chinese]

家 門牆全滲滿裂花

連信仰都塌下

抬頭無數隻瞰視的烏鴉

不忍看心愛的劃上滿面瘡疤

頑抗哪怕撲入猛火

奮力格擋 縱沒結果

殘破也繼續抱住最初

破滅再多 抱住最多

跟世間墜落

風眼中沒落

舊日已化塵埃

靈魂塗炭再默哀

明明難割愛也被逼離開

不甘看到我的夢壓碎在厄災

頑抗哪怕撲入猛火

奮力格擋 縱沒結果

殘破也繼續抱住最初

破滅再多 抱住最多

跟世間墜落

如常 跟你最想照張全相的相

預想會遇上 打萬骨枯一仗

但我有信的仰 如吸不盡的氧

如本即 沒可惜 不可惜

無常

如丟失本應遞到我掌的獎

亦終歸到我掌心

我所得的或許跟

無得到沒區分

怪風吹過一陣

不泯 心 一根無芯嘅燈

撲入猛火 奮力格擋

全世界已跌入猛火

奮力格擋 也沒結果

殘破也繼續抱住最初

抱撼再多 也未會躲

跟世間墜落

風眼中沒落

擺脫宿命 先放膽墜落
